Manal al-Sharif's Memoir Rated #1 Summer Read by O Magazine

Congratulations to Saudi author and women's rights activist, Manal al-Sharif! Her book DARING TO DRIVE comes out this week. She is on a book and speaking tour. And...just now, Manal posted on her facebook page that O Magazine has rated her book the #1 Summer Read! I couldn't find it on-line yet but am posting in a photo she took from the magazine. Bravo! We need to read more first-hand accounts of life from Saudi women (and men too).
